Our Curriculum

Please have a look through our curriculum map (below). This outlines our core topics for the year. 

We will keep you updated with your child's learning throughout the year via. Earwig, Class DOJO and parents meetings. 

We learn through a creative curriculum and we have lots of exciting, purposeful activities that allow us to develop and grow through memorable, fun activities.

Our Learning Challenge topic for Autumn 1 is: How do rivers and mountains change our world?

In this fascinating topic, we will learn what mountains, rivers and coasts actually are, some of the forces that help create and shape these important features, and the effects they have on the world around them.

We will explore the climates, human interactions, and lifestyles shaped by the mountains, rivers and coasts of the world.

Sophie Martin Illustrator Workshop...

As part of Art Week, we worked alongside an illustrator called Sophie Martin. She demonstrated how to create beautiful, scenic river drawings using fine liners and water colours.

Baking Hot Coconut Buns

We have been reading the book, The Baker by the Sea written by Paula White.

A warm-hearted story which explores the importance of community. Set against the backdrop of a remote fishing village where everyone works together to support one another, the story reminds us that everyone is important no matter their role.  The back of the book includes a recipe from the author’s grandfather for Hot Coconut Buns which we had fun making. We carefully followed a set of instructions, ensuring we had the appropriate amounts needed. We looked at instructional features such as imperative verbs, adverbs, numbered lists, sub-headings, technical vocabulary...

The buns looked just as good as they tasted!

Edinburgh Residential 2024

We had an amazing residential experience at Edinburgh. We stayed for three nights at the Hotel Britannia and we had a jam- packed itinerary, making memories that will last a life-time!

Day 1

We kick started the experience with a private tour around The Real Mary King's Close listening to 'residents' tell their story of the Plague. Mary King's Close is a historic close located under the Edinburgh City Chambers building on the Royal Mile. The first several rooms were recreations of life in the 1600s when Mary King resided on the street. We were told a gruesome tale of what happened with one of the residents of the close!  Next, we mounted an open top bus, which took us on a sight seeing experience around the city. Luckily, the rain held off for our tour!

Day 2

We used public transport (we were given money to pay for our own tickets) to visit the zoo. We had an educational tour around the zoo, exploring lots of animals and their habitats. We discovered what some of the animals ate and found out that some of the animals that were enclosed at the zoo are considered 'endangered'. Our guide talked us through their conservation projects.

That night, we were given a spooky 'Ghost Walk' around the city where real tales of ghost stories were shared!

Day 3

We visited the Royal Yacht Britannia. We wandered around the breathtaking yacht listening to audios of how the royal family once travelled the world on it.

Year 4 Class Councillors

Isla and Zayne are our year 4 Class Councillors! They were each voted by their peers to represent our class. They will be responsible for creating fundraising events, voicing the opinions of their class and looking at ways they can generally improve our school as a whole.

Strive 4 Five!

In Year 4, we are all 'Reading Rockets'. We aim to read at least 5 times per week and are rewarded for our efforts with raffle tickets. These are entered into a weekly draw and children can win some brilliant prizes! 

Year 4 children will bring home 2 reading books. One book will directly match their current reading ability, and the other an Accelerated Reading book. Accelerated Reading books are used to help develop your child's comprehension skills and your child will sit regular (informal) online 'quizzes' to assess their comprehension of the story. 

Earwig and Class DOJO

Please access your child's Earwig and class DOJO page regularly for updates on, and photos capturing, their year 4 learning journey. 

If you have difficulty in accessing either of these, please let Miss Savage or the school office know and we will help you with this.
